Place the config and the grayscale in a folder (name it Vancouver) and place that folder in the Documents/SimCity 4/Regions folder. Run the game, open the new region, and render the map as in the following:

Installing the Map Files into SimCity 4

16) Launch the SimCity 4 game.

17) From the Main Menu of SimCity 4, Click on "Load Region" and open an EXISTING region.

18) THEN click on "Load Region" and open the region created in Step 3), above.

19) The configuration of the the config.bmp is displayed.

20) On the keyboard, press and hold the following key combination: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R.

NOTE: Wireless Keyboards

Typically, wireless keyboards do not support more than three simultaneous key combinations. It will be necessary to use the appropriate key combination for the wireless keyboard being used to simulate the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R combination. The normal wireless keyboard combination to use is [Alt Gr] + Shift + R.

21 This will bring up the Grayscale Image File dialog box.

22) Browse to the folder created in Step 3), above.

23) Select the grayscale map image JPG file and click on the OK button.

24) SimCity 4 starts to render the region and a "Creating New City" screen appears.

BE PATIENT. Depending upon the size of the region, the number of city tiles and the speed of the computer, rendering of the region takes anywhere from five (5) minutes up to a number of hours to complete.
